Today, I’m going to take a few minutes to discuss the Melaleuca Luminex.
In case you aren’t familiar with Melaleuca, they are known as the Wellness Company. To be transparent, I am in no way affiliated with them (although I was almost 20-years ago). They are well known for creating high quality health and wellness and personal care products, more than 500 different products in all. One of those products is the Melaleuca Luminex.
As an adult, I’ve always had mood swings. I’ve experienced peaks and valleys throughout the day. Sometimes I was very happy and excited, and other times I was the complete opposite. I would get extreme highs and lows throughout the day for no specific reason at all. I found it very frustrating (so did my family). I was sick and tired of it and looking for a natural way to fix it.
I first learned about St. John’s Wort and Melaleuca’s Luminex sometime in early 2004. At the time, I had just joined Melaleuca as a Marketing Executive and learned about the product at an in home party I went to (no, I am not with Melaleuca anymore, and haven’t been so for over 17+ years).
Several people at the party were asked what their favorite Melaleuca product was. One lady in particular talked about Melaleuca Luminex. She mentioned how she took the product and had a great experience. I was very impressed with her testimonial, so I did some additional research online about the benefits of St. John’s Wort and liked what I found. As a result, I ordered a bottle of Luminex with my next product order.
Upon receiving my shipment in the mail, I started taking my Luminex and I felt better. It took about three weeks to start working. But after that, my moods plateaued. I still had some ups and downs, but they weren’t as drastic. Instead of peaks and valleys, it was more like little bumps.
I felt much better and the people around me (parents and friends) asked me what I was doing differently. Obviously, they could see the changes in my behavior and mental health. I took the Luminex for almost eight full years before I switched to a different manufacturer.
I’m very thankful for the way it made me feel. If you are in a similar situation, you should check out Luminex, or a similar St. John’s Wort product from the drug store. If nothing else, do some additional research and talk with your doctor to learn more about St. John’s Wort.
What is St John’s Wort?
There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of St John’s Wort before. If that’s the case, here is a brief explanation.
St. John’s wort is a plant with yellow, star-shaped flowers and five petals that grows in Europe, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Eastern Asia. The plant grows in sunny, well-drained areas. It grows to be 50-100 cm tall.
St. John’s wort is most commonly used for “the blues” or depression and symptoms that sometimes go along with mood such as nervousness, tiredness, poor appetite, and trouble sleeping. There is some strong scientific evidence that it is effective for mild to moderate depression.
St. John’s wort is also used for symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and mood changes.

St. Johns Wart is amazing for so may things. It is one of the few natural remedies I have yet to try. I use maca root myself for mood swings. Have you ever heard of it? It is from a radish and it is amazing as regulating and lifting mood. It also helps hormones balance and increases energy. Not too expensive either. I get the power filled tablets myself.
Never heard of the maca root before but it sounds good.
This is one product I believe very highly in. Whether it is Luminex or a St John’s Wort from another company, it can help mood swings quite well. So many man made chemicals are used and people gain other problems from them. In many cases they attack kidneys or the liver, and some are even bad for a person’s heart. St John’s Wort is all natural and I believe Mother Nature has a cure for everything. I always tell people to put the Prozak and other mood swing meds in the cabinet and use St John’s Wort.
I like the idea of using natural herbs myself. It’s a great product!
I have been taking luminex for awhile now and have noticed my mood has changed a lot I don’t let the little things upset me anymore like I used too. After reading some reviews on here I’m going to have my daughter try it also, she has depression and the medicine from the doctors does not seem to help her.
The Luminex is good. I am not a doctor, Penny, but I just take a standard St. John’s from Wal-mart. A one month’s supply is less than $10 and it works well for me. I’ve been taking it close to a decade now and I consider it a life changer.
Luminex helps veterans with PTSD! My son had suffered terribly since returning from deployment in Iraq. After hearing about other vets who have taken Luminex with great success, I got some for him. He was reluctant to take it at first. The weeks after he started taking it, his nightmares subsided and he’s sleeping much better. His hyper-alertness/awareness has called down too. He is now able to go out in crowds without the fear that comes with PTSD. I’m going to do my best to bring awareness to other’s that are struggling with the horrific effects of PTSD. Thank you Melaluca for giving my son his life back!
That is a very powerful testimonial Christine. Please tell your son thank you for his service.
This is really a quality product. For anyone suffering from mood swings or depression, this is probably a much better and much more affordable medicine than something prescribed by your doctor. And it has no side effects.
One of the things I like most about it is no side effects. Prescription drugs often cause more harm than good. For everything they treat, they create even more problems with something else.
My son takes the Luminex and it really helps his moods a lot. He used to have ups and downs all day long, but now his moods are pretty stable.
I’m glad the Melaleuca Luminex helps out your son, Helen. I take St. John’s myself and it has really helped me out.
The Luminex is a great product that has really helped me get my mood swings under control. For the little bit of money I spend for it each month, I can’t go wrong. After all, how much is feeling good about yourself worth to you.
I’m glad the Luminex has helped you out, Milton.
I’ve taken St. John’s for years now and it has completely changed my life. I do not take the Luminex though. I simply buy the St. John’s at Wal-mart for about $10 per bottle. This is the best money I spend every month. It keeps my moods stable and makes life so much easier for me.
Vinny
Good for you, Vinny. I’m glad the St. John’s Wort helped you out too. It has completely changed my life as well.
I’ve been taking the Melaleuca Luminex for almost a year now. It has been a huge blessing in my life. My moods are now under control and I feel so much happier about my life. I never want to revert back to my life before taking Luminex.
Good for you Diane. Keep taking it, if it works for you.
Chuck
I’ve been on Luminex for about 7 years now and it has completely changed my life for the better. My constant mood swings are gone and I am a much happier person.
Lou,
I’m glad Luminex has given you your life back.

Thanks for the update, Celeste.
Here’s some things I found out about St. John’s Wort online.
“The St. John’s wort plant has yellow flowers and is considered to be a weed throughout most of the United States. It has been used for medical purposes in other parts of the world for thousands of years. Today, St. John’s wort is continually being studied to try to validate its alleged mood-improving benefits.”

Thanks, Annie.
I have mild depression and the St. John’s Wort has completely changed my life. I feel happier every day and have very few mood swings.
I’m glad you have fewer mood swings, Shawna! And I’m glad you feel happier. We all deserve to be happy!
Amazing product. That’s really all I can say. The Melaleuca St. John’s Wort has really made me a better person. No more mood swings are anxiety attacks.
I’m glad it helped you out, Candy!
Thank you Melaleuca! The Luminex has really helped me live a normal life again.
I’m glad it helped you out, Catherine!
There is a very solid research base supporting the use of St. John’s Wort to regulate mood. This conversation has been very interesting to me personally because I have ADHD and take Adderall, which increases anxiety levels. My doctor put me on an antidepressant at one point to counter it, which did not work AT ALL. Chuck’s post that lists treating anxiety led me to do some additional research, and, sure enough, St. John’s Wort has been proven to help with anxiety as well. In addition, there is no drug interaction between Adderall and St. John’s Wort, so I’m going to give it a test run for a couple of months. That does bring up a point I wanted to share, and that is to check first for possible interactions if you are on other medications. WebMD lists all of the know drug interactions, and there are quite a few, so proceed with caution. I also would recommend not running to Walmart to purchase the cheapest bottle you can find, because the active ingredients break down if not extracted and packaged properly. Buy from a reputable source, Melaleuca being an excellent one (Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Melaleuca in any way. I am, however, quite familiar with them and they provide quality products). As Chuck said, it may cost a bit more, but it would be worth it in something like this.
Thanks for the comment, Amy.
My best friend recommended I try out the Luminex. He told me he’s been taking it for almost a year and it has helped him with his moods. After reading these testimonials, I think I’m going to try it out. I’ve been struggling with mood swings and minor depression for a while and I’m ready to be my old self again.
It’s worked for me, Dominik. What have you got to lose? Worst case scenario it doesn’t work for you and you have to try something else. Good luck.

My wife has been taking Luminex for almost nine years now. Before she took it she was like an emotional roller coaster. I really consider this a wonder drug because it has totally stabilized my wife’s ups and downs. Sure, she still as speed bumps from time to time, but no peaks and valleys like she did before.
Fred A.
I’m glad the Luminex helps her out Fred.
Thanks for the comment.

I love this product. I suffered from depression about 8 weeks after giving birth. I did not want to resort to some of those harsh drugs prescribed by my doctor if I did not have to. By the recommendation of someone else I tried the Melaleuca Luminex and was very impressed. I went from not wanting to do anything to being excited about motherhood again and wanting to be out in the world. I do not use it as frequently as I used to because I don’t have the need, but it worked wonders for me and I don’t think I would have made it without this product.
Taking the Melaleuca Luminex really changed my life Diamond. I still take a St. John’s, but from a different manufacturer. I took the Luminex for many years and it helped me go from being an emotional roller coaster to a much more stable and pleasant person.
Chuck
The Melaleuca Luminex is a great product. It’s really helped with my depression and made life so much better for me.
Ryan
Good for you, Ryan. I’m glad it’s helped you out.
